Flute, fiddle, and melodeon, Miss McGoldrick - piano, Gennett 5477. Morrison's flute is a bit out of tune and Higgins's fiddle can scarcely be heard over the droning piano; nevertheless this is a lively pair of reels. The C in the Bank of Ireland is usually played as a C Natural but old melodeon players like Conlon didn't have this note on their one row diatonic instruments, so they either played a C sharp or modulated to a relative minor key that had a natural third note of the scale.
